Refering to hem's post..-then every thing I do/make/create needs alot of work then..252 evs are too big for me and needs to be spread out. Two main evs are good, but not not good enough though. With the right ev spreads the power of the pokemon's moves can be higher or low. Sweepers don't even have to swords dance or whatever they do to get their attack or sp attack power up...and sweep my team. That's why I need at least a def over 2010-2025. Even though it may be a waste of evs for you guys, I think i'm using it wisely. On some of my pokemon, they have a 225 evs. Do you know why? Because of my previous battles with just two main evs..I lacked defence. Speed and attack is good, but without a little defense to withstand attacks.. your attacks are meaningless. Know matter how much I do swords dance-know matter how many times I do protect or detect-know matter how many times you even to reflect or light screen, they all have limits. Some evs can't go without each other, for example, if you're going to put swordsdance on your team, consider putting a 252 speed ev. It's rather pointless if you're slower than the opponent. Now, complain how my team is bad and whatnot. I've tested it plenty of times on beta server. Oh, that reminds me of something. "Don't judge a book by it's cover" If you haven't read it(battled the team) then don't make a conclusion of it.

That is all.

Shane, we know enough about the meta game to know when a team is good or bad. Now, let me say this. You're wasting potential on sweepers by giving them natures that take away from a stat they use when there are stats they DON'T use. Also, you need to realize that Luxray is completely outclassed by things in RU. Electivire, for one, is far better than Luxray. I'll rate this team later.

P.S. Shane, NEVER USE 129 EVS. EVER. It MUST be a multiple of 4 to do anything. 129 ÷ 4 = 32.25. That's NOT a multiple of 4.

Shane, please, listen to us, and stop spurning out advice. First off, your EVs are insufficient. Pokemon don't need defense if they're attacking. A modestly good team of any archetype can have their way against this team. There's so many holes that can be found and exploited. However, that's been established. I also noticed that the 6 team members on your team were thrown rather haphazardly together without the slightest plan established for them. Now, I'll list out the main threats.

Latios and Tornadus have their way against this team. While you may have some resists and bulky Pokemon with priority, they can generally stomach one of those hits and start cleaving through this team like a hot knife through butter with their powerful special attacks, especially when they're boosted in the rain.

The rain also leads to another massive, if not the main threat to your team: Gastrodon! It can come in on your whole team and threaten with Toxic. The one Pokemon on your team that benefits from Toxic poisoning is also threatened by Ice Beam from that same Gastrodon, leaving nothing on your team safe from it. Also, many of your Pokemon could have better move choices.

I'll finish this post when work doesn't want to have its way with me, much like how Gastrodon has its way with your team.

Alright. Shane. Let me say this. Luxray is outclassed; replace him. You may want to try out a Special Electric type, such as Rotom-W. If not, try out Electivire. Though he is UU, he is superior to Luxray. Anyhow, this guy is in a low tier for a reason. Guts Machamp is useless compared to No Guard Machamp. No Guard allows it to carry Dynamic Punch and Stone Edge, two moves that miss a lot, and get 100% accuracy under No Guard. That Gliscor set is inefficient, seeing as only Ice moves will be aimed at it, I'll suggest you go with the standard 252 HP | 184 Def | 76 Spd spread. Now, try out Protect / Ice Fang / Swords Dance / Earthquake as the moveset. I've used your moveset before, and this one is better. Your Latios will get killed by other Latios. That's why you need 4 HP | 252 SAtk | 252 Spd with a Timid Nature for the spread. Otherwise, Latios will royally suck. Replace Psychic with Dragon Pulse or Draco Meteor because Psychic is an awful move. Try Hidden Power [Fire] over Shadow Ball, or maybe even Thunderbolt. They both are more useful. Give Arcanine 252 Atk | 4 SDef | 252 Spd for the spread, because otherwise it will die to random stuff that outspeed it. His moveset is fine. You won't be using Slowbro to take Special attacks; that being said, you have no Pokemon that can safely take Special attacks other than Latios, your sweeper. Try Slowking over Slowbro since he is more Specially oriented. I recommend you use the EVs 252 HP | 4 Def | 252 SDef on Slowking. If you keep Slowbro, use 252 HP | 252 Def | 4 SDef. Also, why use Trick Room when the rest of your team is fast? You're harming the rest of your team with that. Try Scald, Slack Off, Ice Beam, and a filler move. Scald can Burn and weaken Physical attacks. Ice Beam gets rid of Dragons. Slack Off lets you recover, and the lack of Trick Room actually benefits your team. Also, use Leftovers. Wacan Berry sounds nice because it weakens Electric attacks, but it grants no recovery whatsoever. Slowking should live through a Special Electric attack with that spread (this is situational). If I sounded harsh in this rate, it's because I wanted to help you and your team. Please take the advice. I promise this will help. Spreading EVs is horribly inefficient, and should be done in rare cases for Pokemon such as Bronzong and Chansey. Good luck, Shane.

Shane-First off, the point of an RMT is to TELL US what each Pokemon does. Tell us what the item is and such. Also, you have to open a NEW THREAD to make a new RMT. I won't rate your team until that is fixed. Also, all of your descriptions are lacking. Please fix your team / thread / descriptions. Thank you, and have a nice day. (People, don't comment on this again so he can move the thread.)

k. But the only thing I can't do is tell you the item I have. If I tell then my whole strategy will ruined. Otherwise-this will be moved to (http://the-treehouse.forumotion.com/t152-shane-s-rain-team#1247).
